Answer: We will use the electron-dot structure to tell the reactivity of fluorine.
Explanation: Fluorine atom is the 9th element of the periodic table.
Atomic number: 9
Electronic configuration of fluorine = 
The number of valence electrons = 7
and the valency for this element = 1 (because this element requires only one electron to have a stable electronic configuration)
Electron dot structures are the structures which represent the valence electrons present around the nucleus of an atom. The dots in the structures represent the electrons.
Reactivity of an element is defined as its ability to gain or loose electrons easily.
As fluorine atom gains 1 electron easily, so it is very reactive.
Electron dot structure of fluorine atom is given in the image attached.

Explanation:
Answer:
The moles of KClO3 = 0.052 moles
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the pressure of oxygen gas
The oxygen has a total pressure (including water vapour) of 760 mmHg
The pressure of Oxygen = (760 - 26) mmHg
= 734 mmHg of water vapor
Step 2: Calculate the no of moles of oxygen
Using Ideal gas equation
P V = n R T
P = pressure of oxygen in N/m2 ( you should convert 734 mmHg to pascal or N/m2) = 97,858.6 N/m2 or pas
V = 2 litres = 0.002 m3
R = gas constant = 8.31
T= 27oC = 300 K
Applying this equation P V = n R T
97,858.6 x 0.002 = n x 8.31 x 300
n = 0.0785 mol of Oxygen
From the balanced equation
2 KClO 3 ---- 2 KCl + 3 O 2
3 moles of oxygen is produced from 2 moles KClO3
so 0.0785 mole of oxygen will be produced from x
x = (0.0785 x 2 ) / 3
x = 0.052 moles of KClO3
Answer: increases by
As a chlorine atom becomes a negative ion, the atom "increases by" an electron
Explanation:
Chlorine atom has an atomic number of 17, and an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p5 showing 7 valence electrons in its outermost shell.
Hence, it receives a single electron to achieve a stable octet structure with electronic configuration of
1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6. Therefore, Cl- is a univalent negative ion with 8 valence electrons in its outermost shell. The increase is shown below
Cl + e- --> Cl-
Thus, as a chlorine atom becomes a negative ion, the atom "increases by" an electron
